Reply #16: Yeah, bigoted b/c it's majority ruled by corrupt, murderous tyrannies like Libya, China, Cuba

Not that the hypocrisy on display from these countries, who have the utmost contempt for the victims of their own oppression, makes much of a difference to those who'd rather focus on Israel to the exclusion of far greater atrocities elsewhere throughout the world.

And of course the UNHRC knew exactly what they were going to get with Goldstone and the Flotilla commission. Based on the history of the UNHRC and its predecessor which was disbanded by Kofi Annan for also being bigoted, it's preposterous to believe the UNHRC left things to chance - as if any one of their Israel commissions could ever report and rule favorably for Israel. :eyes:

What else besides blind bigotry explains such a ridiculous report?

Some of the more glaring faults of the report include the omission of any reference to the real causes of power outages in the Gaza strip (clause 31), the declaration that there is a “severe humanitarian situation in Gaza” (clause 53) and that a humanitarian crisis existed on 31/05/2010 in Gaza (clause 261), together with an ‘interesting’ definition of starvation (clause 52). The assumption that Gaza is still under Israeli occupation (clause 51), together with the reliance upon testimonies from such partisan sources as Richard Falk and Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) (clause 179) sets the scene for some of the more fanciful claims made by the writers of the report. These include the defining of the ‘Free Gaza’ movement as a human rights organization (clause 76) and the IHH as a “humanitarian organization”, the dismissal of readily available footage of some of the Mavi Marmara’s passengers’ Jihadi calls to martyrdom with a description of “some bravado”, the description of what went on aboard the ships as “passive resistance”, “non-violence” and “symbolic resistance” (clause 102), the claim that “at no stage was a request made by the Israeli navy for the cargo to be inspected” (clause 109) and the claim that the replies to Israeli navy radio communications which we have all heard and which referred to Auschwitz and the 9/11 terror attack did not come from the ships’ passengers (clause 110). The report even descends to the ridiculous level of describing “excessive air conditioning” in the vans in which detainees were transported (clause 195), the noise in the prison in which they were held (clause 197) and the number of armed soldiers present at the airport before their deportation (clause 202) as deliberate intimidation upon the part of Israel and makes the unsubstantiated claim that detainees were photographed for “trophy pictures” (clause 190) and exposed to “hostile crowds” (clause 185).

Only willfully blind or oblivious people could find such a stupid, bigoted report credible.
